About Us

Everybody eats. And at some point most of us cook...at least something. But when I talk with amateur chefs the conversations too often go right to what to cook, without spending anytime on how to cook.

For me cooking, is about technique. Sure, recipes are great, but they don't make great food: People do. My goal is to teach and show people how to cook, so they can take any set of ingredients and make something special.
